This Love
Autor Lotte Jeffsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 feb 2024
Mae and Ari meet at university, quickly becoming inseparable. Mae has known she was gay since a young age, is shy but waifishly attractive and never short of a date. Ari brings Mae out of her shell, he's flamboyant and his bright light draws in everyone he meets.
Although Ari is battling demons of his own, they quickly become a power couple (though never date) and their relationship with each other becomes the most significant of their lives.
This Love shows us what an extraordinary friendship can be and also examines contemporary queer life and expands our understanding of what it means to be a family.
A gorgeous, sweeping novel about queerness and choosing your own family, This Love is perfect for fans of One Day, Rainbow Milk and Detransition, Baby.

When Mae and Ari meet their final year at the University of Leeds, their connection is magnetic. Mae, whilst stubborn and no stranger to breaking hearts, needs Ari's bright light to guide her out of her self-centred ways; Ari, vibrant, charming and reeling in the aftermath of a scandal in New York, clings to Mae as his grounding anchor.
As the years sweep by, the two traverse the tumult of life: toxic partners and hidden secrets, the heavy weight of grief, and a complicated, unignorable desire to start a family . . . If they can hold onto one another in the face of the relentless past and the inevitable future, they might discover how to build something beautiful out of their expansive, boundary-breaking love.
Spanning ten years of extraordinary friendship, This Love is a vivid and epic tale of finding your soulmates, building an unconventional family and the limitless, ever-changing forms love can take - perfect for fans of Talking at Night, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and One Day.

Recenzii
One Day for a new generation.
A beautifully written, generous-hearted, clever, tender, fresh and unputdownable novel about queerness, family and forgiveness. I loved This Love.
Astute, tender and utterly joy-filled. This is the love story we've been waiting for.
We're calling it . . . This Love is the new One Day
The best parts of Sally Rooney and Gabrielle Zevin merge for this exquisitely paced, modern yet timeless story of love and friendship . . . Pitch perfect, I adored this completely absorbing and compulsive gem.
Incredible . . . a beautiful book full of emotion that will stay with me for a long time.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if This Love was my book of 2024. The world-building and storytelling is exquisite, the characters so real, the plot perfect. I'm madly jealous of everyone who hasn't read it yet.
Bursting with queer joy and tenderness, This Love is original, compelling and totally gorgeous. An immensely enjoyable ode to the extraordinary power of friendship and forging your own kind of family. I adored it.
I had a whirlwind romance with this book. Rarely have I seen myself so clearly in literature. Safe to say I loved it.
Anchored by complicated real-world challenges, this novel explores the weight of secrets, toxic partnerings, grief and desire all whilst celebrating the greatest love in so many lives, friendship.
An intensely readable novel about all the love that doesn't fit inside society's neat boundaries
This Love is everything you want from a novel, it's funny, sexy, and moving. It's a book full of queer joy that lets us imagine all the hopeful possibilities in the word 'family'.
This is a book I will return to again and again. I finished it in the early hours of the morning and was bereft. It's about relationships, our concept of family, what soulmate means . . . I could go on! It's beautiful.
It charts its twists and turns with appealingly breezy, emotionally attuned prose
Moving, engrossing and queer as hell, Lotte Jeff's debut novel is a gorgeous love letter to the extraordinary power of queer friendship and forging your own kind of family
I was bereft when I turned the last page, as I didn't want to leave Mae and Ari behind . . . Beautiful and full of emotion, it will stay with me for a long time.
A moving portrayal of platonic love and chosen family. It's a reminder that a soulmate doesn't need to be a romantic connection, and that love takes many equally crucial forms.
Touching, surprising and gloriously enjoyable debut, which charts the challenges and joys of unconventional families, of fluidity and friendship, and of love in every possible incarnation.
This Love is a brilliantly rich portrayal of family. Both the family we are born into and the family we find, forge and fight for no matter the cost. I fell so deeply for its messy, passionate, glorious characters and their new ways of making and sustaining love, be it romantic, platonic or a soul-mate connection that belies traditional definition. Jeffs has created a world so vivid, I felt I was living in it and was immediately bereft when I turned the last page.
Reminiscent of Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe, Mae and Ari have an immediate and incandescent connection that defies categorization. It's a sincere pleasure to watch this richly rendered, embodied, and deeply queer cast of characters crash headlong into each other and be transformed.
Lyrical, meandering, and astute, This Love is a love letter to what friendship can be, and what a novel can do.
A beautifully wrought, tender, funny, and wholly original story about the magic that happens when friends become family. I was totally immersed in the characters and their world, and started missing them the moment I finished reading.
This Love had me deep in my feelings. Lotte Jeffs is the real deal, and many writers will, justifiably, never forgive her for creating such a tender, engrossing, and unforgettable debut.
"Everything you want from a novel . . . funny, sexy, and moving . . . full of queer joy." Claire Lynch, author of small: on motherhoods
'Incredible . . . a beautiful book full of emotion that will stay with me for a long time.' Nina Pottell, Books Editor at Prima
Mae and Ari are not your average power couple.
When they meet outside a Leeds gay club in their final year of university, their connection is magnetic. Whilst Mae, stubborn and no stranger to breaking hearts, needs Ari's bright light to guide her out of her self-centred ways; Ari, vibrant, charming and reeling in the aftermath of a scandal in New York, clings to Mae as his grounding anchor.
As the years sweep by, the two traverse the tumult of life: hotshot jobs and toxic partners, the fallout of long-hidden secrets and the heavy weight of grief. If they can hold onto one another in the face of the relentless past and the inevitable future, they might discover how to build something beautiful out of their expansive, boundary-breaking love.
